A LOSE WEIGHT AND KEEP THOSE NEW YEAR’S DIET RESOLUTION

Fads will come and go, but following sensible strategies can make a real difference in whether you lose weight and keep it off.

1. Choose a plan that makes sense

Pick a program that focuses on strategies you can practice long-term, not just while you are "on the diet." Low-calories meal replacements, like Medifast Shakes and portion-controlled entrees, make it easier to cut calories now and in the future.

2. Get off to a strong start

Research has found that how well dieters do in the first 2-4 weeks predicts their success up to five years later.

3. Make a plan

If you don't plan out what you're going to do, the world has a plan for you. Map out the first day of your week to get a strong start you can build on the rest of the week.

4. Target you "easy wins"

Simple substitutions are often the easiest way to cut calories. Drinking a diet soda instead of a regular soda every day will save you 15 or more pounds in a year.

5. Keep moving

Daily physical activity such as walking, along with healthy eating is key to long-term weight-loss success and maintenance.

6. Track your progress

Food and exercise records help you stay accountable to your diet plan, reinforce your success, and give you valuable feedback on how to continue to build your skills.

7. Drink fluids

It is important to stay hydrated, especially when you are losing weight, because your body will naturally lose some water. Make sure you drink at least eith 8 oz. Glasses of non-caloric liquids per day.

8. Don't go it alone

Research shows that people are often more successful when they lose weight with a friend or a group.
